Possible duplicate of Is LAN with StarCraft 2 definitely not possible? – Paul Jan 30 '18 at 1:51. 1 @Paul not at all. I don't have a problem connecting to battle.net to play and I don't have a problem playing with other LAN players. What I want to do is specifically play 1v1 head to head. Port forwarding is the better option and should fix hosting for most people, but if it doesn't work you can try enabling DMZ (if your router supports it). DMZ essentially means you forward all the router ports into your local computer behind the router — it's less secure, so it's better to try port forwarding (above) first.

If you are behind a router/gateway with another computer and you tried playing StarCraft together with other people on Battle.net, you might have noticed that it was really laggy and unplayable. To fix this problem, all you have to do is change the ports for one of the computers on your network. The default port for Battle.net is 6112 and it lags because it can't handle more than one computer in that port.
So all you have to do is go to your router/gateway's Port Forward page and set one of your computers to use a port between 6113 and 6119 (UDP, not TCP). After you forward a port for one of your computers, you need to open the Registry Editor for that computer. To do this, click Start, Run, and press enter after you type regedit. In the left side of the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBattle.netConfiguration. Now click Edit > New DWORD Value, and name it Game Data Port. Double click that value that you've just created, click Decimal in the Base area, and type the port that you forwarded for your computer in ‘Value data' (6114 for example), and press OK.
Your computers sharing the same router/gateway should now be able to play on Battle.net with other people with no lag!
If you thought the sequel to StarCraft is exciting you might be surprised that the sequel to WarCraft can still be played on a modern operating system.
Starcraft 2 Lan Fix 1.7
One of the problems though is that mulitplayer over local network requires IPX, a network technology that has been removed from Windows since Vista. But fear not. If you get IPXWrapper from here (alternative mirror) and drop the files in the WarCraft II program folder.
From the Read Me:
IPXwrapper is a winsock wrapper which transparently tunnels IPX packets over IPusing UDP port 54792. To use it, simply copy ipxwrapper.dll, wsock32.dll andmswsock.dll to the directory containing your legacy program.
When this step is complete you can launch WarCraft II and create a LAN game using IPX, as you normally would on a system with the IPX protocol installed. Remember to check that the firewall doesn't block anything.
IPXWrapper also works for other games that require IPX, including C&C: Red Alert 2, Army Men RTS, Lords of Magic SE, Dark Reign, Diablo I (see detailed Diablo setup here) (List updated based on comments, thanks for any input!).
